Apoptotic capacity (AC, %) between squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) patients and healthy control subjects in a North American population.

^aAC= [100 × (experimental apoptosis − spontaneous apoptosis)/(100 − spontaneous apoptosis)].

^bP values for the differences between subgroups were determined by the Student t test.

^cP values for the difference between cases and controls.

^dMissed 1 patients’ and 2 controls’ information.

^eTests that could pass the Bonferroni threshold (0.05/38 tests =0.0013) for multiple testing correction.
